From: S. B. Gray on
I have this code and data and to visualize the 3D graph effectively, I
want to view it in side-by-side stereo. The two calls to Graphics3D
work, but I can't seem to find two viewpoints that give a vivid stereo
effect. (I have successfully viewed many stereo pics in the past in
print media.)

Does anyone have experience with stereo pairs? One more question: what's
a good and easy way to chop off N low-order digits, not just for display
but in numeric value? I truncated these values by hand. Also I found
that I had to create a color table manually to give the best color
contrasts. The color table wraps around in case there are more lines
than colors.
Thanks for any tips.
